Popular Post brickvoyeur Posted December 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 7, 2022 (edited) Quote I'll read the Nightmare Before Christmas story this year, kids. Twas the night before Clearance And all through the aisle Steamrollers were packed Into my cart like a pile Exo Suits were hung In the storage with care Knowing that in a decade They still will be there Sergeant Jyn Erso was nestled Deep under my bed With terrible proportions And a face that looks dead Wonder woman in her armor And cheetah in her cap The lasso of truth will tell you That this set is pure crap When out on my doorstep A noise shook me awake ShopJustice still delivering Olaf Flat as a pancake Faster shipping than FedEx The turds as they came I cried and I pouted As I called them by name "Now, Dots! now, Mario! Now Lego Movie 1 and 2! On, Raiders! on, Mighty Dinos! On, Takodana and constractables too! To the depths of the dumpster! Stacked 50 feet tall Now throw away! throw away! throw away all!" Each year I make efforts To donate a bit more But Toys for tots sends a bill For returning them to my door Since I can't give them away I'll dig a big pit It's the final solution To get rid of this sh!t I shook as I laughed At the thought of relieving this pain It was nearly 3am So I looked quite insane As I poured the kerosene I cheered with delight "I'll light you on fire, So you're out of my sight" Edited December 7, 2022 by brickvoyeur 15 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandyHand Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Just sold the first of my small stash of 75055 ISD, for €170 cash in hand. In The Netherlands that is currently the going rate, though the prices are slowly rising on this set. I expect it will do > €200 on Marktplaats after the Summer holidays. It's funny... To get about the same nett profit through selling on eBay I'd have to sell an ISD at €200. After eBay and PayPal commissions substracted it's about the same €170 as I got through Marktplaats where selling is free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't the market saturated with everything these days? In my opinion, AT-AT>ISD>Tydirium. Oh no... this is headed toward bubble thread territory.

Dr. Brick Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 I agree with your assessment of this horse of quick flippers and quick investors. Key to beat them is buy the right sets and hold them longer than theae flippers can. I will never put myself in a position where I hava to sell sets. I have kept certain sets for a long time and ususally montior the 'riping procress' of my inventory ripely. Granted, I have had sets that just don't appreciate much regardless of how long you keep them. I just strongly feel the Tydirium will do well, but longterm. I probably won't sell them or even look at them till late 2017. In the mean time I'll be selling my 2012 and 2013 sets... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff_14 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Sold the last of my 15 Raptor Escapes for $120 CDN last night. Oh Charlie, how I will miss your toothy grin that matched my own. You're free little buddy. Also sold my last Star Wars Desert Skiff for $75 CDN. Not bad for a $15 purchase. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant get them to move on ebay, but my buy in was $7 each so 2x $$$$! I still have 4 left to move tomorrow. Plus sold some bionicle @ $5 each.

Same manufacturing. Same material. Less intricacies. (I was just pointing out how you keep bragging.

And It all came with one of these that I kept. I'm very sad they stopped making those... The alternatives have very low quality plastic in the "shelves" part. We only have a few we grabbed at EOL for MSRP and suddenly two months later they were going for 3x. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fossilrock Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I sold 3 of my 12 at-ats for 215.00 each plus shipping over the last week and a half. Averaged close to 100% profit after fees, and shipping. Planning on using this cash on some may the 4th purchases. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imperial star destroyer still stuck in neutral. i need to raise a little working capital and those AT-AT's are calling to me as well. 1000 piece at-at sets are on a 3-4 year schedule like clock work since 2003. normally i'd say there is no chance for a new AT-AT before late 2017 and would want to hold til 2018 but Rogue 1 trailer has me spooked a little for an earlier remake first quarter next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zskid00 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 22 minutes ago, Bold-Arrow said: FBA: PA : 189.9 At-Te : 195 I sold PA last fall for just over $100 and thought that was a nice return. I had no idea that set could go this high. I also clearly did not buy enough AT-TEs when they were readily available for $60-65. Some recent sales for me: FBA Fallingwater $225 Technic Helicopter 9396 $179 MF Ghost Train $120 Batcave 6860 $120 A-wing $78 Corporate Alliance Tank Droid $50 Council of Elrond $48 Merida's Highland Games $37 Ariel's Amazing Treasures $30 Riddles for the Ring $31 Superman vs. PA Lex $28 (I lost all faith in this set going anywhere. Still made some money but not nearly enough based on how long I've had them.) FBM Sith Fury-class Interceptor $161 + shipping 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
